Title A name given to the resource Medievalism on the Streets Description An account of the resource This Collection analyses popular medievalism in material and public culture from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, with an emphasis on popular medievalist theatre, parades and public spectacles, as well as recreational, literary and political associations. It explores the ways in which medievalism was not simply derivative but also local and disctinctive.

Description An account of the resource The northern Tasmanian town of Sheffield is known as the â€˜Town of Muralsâ€™ due to the large number of publicly displayed artworks in its streets, especially on walls. Although the majority of the artworks are about Tasmanian, especially local, history, this particular example shows a warrior whose appearance suggests that he is from the Highlands of Scotland. He wears a tartan kilt with a sporran and is armed with a sword and a round shield. He may have been deemed a suitable subject for the town as it is close to a region known as the Highlands of Tasmania, and it is possibly Cradle Mountain and Lake St Clair pictured behind the warrior.

McMahon describes a visit to the city of Nuremburg in 1936. Arriving only days after one of the Naziâ€™s infamous Nuremburg rallies, he notes the swastikaâ€™s still lining the streets and parade ground. For most of the article, however, McMahon concentrates on explaining Nuremburgâ€™s â€œsplendidâ€ medieval history, and the lasting traces of its past in the physical landscape. He describes tracing the line of the medieval walls, looking in awe at the large merchant houses with their elaborate adornments and recognising, as he looked over the city from the castle, why itâ€™s winding streets and narrow alleys had always held such a fascination for artists and etchers. He identifies Nuremburg as a town famous for its medieval craft guilds, and describes the artistic training and accomplishments of its most famous son, Albrecht DÃ¼rer. He concludes by describing the mastery of the carving work by Adam Kraft in St Laurenceâ€™s Church, which carried the gaze up to the vaulted ceiling â€œlike Shelleyâ€™s skylarkâ€.

St Gertrude was a thirteenth-century Benedictine nun and mystic in Helfta, Germany. She entered the convent aged only 5 and was entrusted by the Abbess, Gertrude of Hackerborn, to the care of St Mechtilde. In her mid-twenties, Gertrude began having mystical visions and dedicated the remainder of her life to the study and teaching of the scriptures and theology. In the painting on the domed ceiling, she can be seen ascending to Heaven to meet Jesus. About New Norcia: New Norcia is a monastic town located 132 km north of Perth in Western Australia. The town is owned and run by a community of Benedictine monks and houses one of only three Benedictine monasteries (for men) in Australia. At its height the monastery housed approximately 80 monks, but currently there are only seven in residence. The Benedictines are part of a religious order within the Catholic Church known as the Order of St Benedict (OSB). Benedictines live in small, largely autonomous communities and base their way of life on the Rule of St Benedict, which prioritises a balance of prayer and work and calls for promises of stability, obedience and a conversion of life. The first Benedictine community was established in the sixth-century in Italy by St Benedict of Nursia (c.480-547). Originally intended as a mission to evangelise and educate the indigenous peoples of the Victoria Plains, the site at New Norcia was founded in 1847 by two Spanish Benedictine missionaries, Dom José Benito Serra and Dom Rosendo Salvado. Serra’s involvement in the missionary activities at new Norcia decreased following his appointment as Co-adjutor Bishop of Perth in 1849, while Salvado (1814-1900) committed himself wholly to developing the mission and leading the monastic community. He subsequently became the key figure in the first 50 years of New Norcia’s history. He made numerous fundraising trips to Europe, which provided him with the means to purchase books, vestments, artwork and equipment for the community and also to oversee the construction of new buildings. He died in Rome in 1900 and his body was returned to New Norcia. Under Salvado’s successor, Bishop Fulgentius Torres (1861-1914), New Norcia became more like a traditional monastic settlement. An increased focus on education and artistic pursuits led to the establishment of two schools and improvements to many of the town’s buildings. St Gertrude’s opened in 1908 and originally functioned as a convent boarding school for girls. It was staffed by Josephite sisters, the first of whom were to New Norcia by Mary Mackillop at the request of Bishop Fulgentius Torres. The school closed in 1991 and is now used primarily as a venue for school camps.

St Ildephonsus was a seventh-century monk at the Benedictine monastery of Agli near Toledo. From 657 until his death in 667, he served as the Archbishop of Toledo. One of his works, De Virginitate Sanctae Mariae, is a treatise defending the perpetual virginity of Mary. The painting above the altarpiece in the New Norcia chapel depicts the hagiographical legend in which Mary appeared before Ildephonsus and presented him with a priestly vestment as a reward for honouring her.

The town is owned and run by a community of Benedictine monks and houses one of only three Benedictine monasteries (for men) in Australia.

St Ildephonsus was a seventh-century monk at the Benedictine monastery of Agli near Toledo. From 657 until his death in 667, he served as the Archbishop of Toledo. One of his works, De Virginitate Sanctae Mariae, is a treatise defending the perpetual virginity of Mary. The painting above the altarpiece in the New Norcia chapel depicts the hagiographical legend in which Mary appeared before Ildephonsus and presented him with a priestly vestment as a reward for honouring her. About New Norcia: New Norcia is a monastic town located 132 km north of Perth in Western Australia. The town is owned and run by a community of Benedictine monks and houses one of only three Benedictine monasteries (for men) in Australia. At its height the monastery housed approximately 80 monks, but currently there are only seven in residence. The Benedictines are part of a religious order within the Catholic Church known as the Order of St Benedict (OSB). Benedictines live in small, largely autonomous communities and base their way of life on the Rule of St Benedict, which prioritises a balance of prayer and work and calls for promises of stability, obedience and a conversion of life. The first Benedictine community was established in the sixth-century in Italy by St Benedict of Nursia (c.480-547). Originally intended as a mission to evangelise and educate the indigenous peoples of the Victoria Plains, the site at New Norcia was founded in 1847 by two Spanish Benedictine missionaries, Dom José Benito Serra and Dom Rosendo Salvado. Serra’s involvement in the missionary activities at new Norcia decreased following his appointment as Co-adjutor Bishop of Perth in 1849, while Salvado (1814-1900) committed himself wholly to developing the mission and leading the monastic community. He subsequently became the key figure in the first 50 years of New Norcia’s history. He made numerous fundraising trips to Europe, which provided him with the means to purchase books, vestments, artwork and equipment for the community and also to oversee the construction of new buildings. He died in Rome in 1900 and his body was returned to New Norcia. Under Salvado’s successor, Bishop Fulgentius Torres (1861-1914), New Norcia became more like a traditional monastic settlement. An increased focus on education and artistic pursuits led to the establishment of two schools and improvements to many of the town’s buildings. St Ildephonsus opened in 1913 as a boarding school for boys. It was staffed by Marist Brothers until 1965, when the Benedictines took over. The school closed in 1991 and is now used primarily as a venue for school camps.
